So.
Sauerkraut is still alive until it gets canned/cooked. Kept in fridge it lasts a long time and you still get the good pro-biotics, etc.

Question: If the mason jar is vacuum sealed with a jar sealer. The air is mostly removed. Do the microbes die and the sauerkraut becomes less healthful?

No it's going to come unsealed after awhile because the bacteria live in an anaerobic environment and produce CO2.

Mines been in the refrigerator for probably 2 years or more definitely the red stuff.
Not heated up

It's delicious too.
I think I'll have sauerkraut and weiners for supper.
It was a common Sunday meal after church growing up.
